It is impossible to make long term predictions of whether or when a specific location will have a tornado. When we do determine that a town or city is going to be hit, the time to the tornado's impact is measured in minutes.

Is there going to be a tornado in Boston ma today June 23 2012?

Whether a tornado will hit a given location on a given day is impossible to predict. On average the lead warning time before a tornado hits is about 15 minutes. That said, there is virtually no risk of severe weather in Boston for June 23, 2012 so the chances of Boston being hit are negligible. Since detailed record keeping began in 1950 there have been 156 recorded tornadoes in Massachusetts of which only 2 or 3 have hit the outskirts of Boston. None have hit the inner part of the city.


Why do tornadoes never hit Chicago?

Chicago is a relatively small target for a tornado to strike and so unlikely to be hit. So it really is only by chance that tornadoes have missed Chicago. However, tornadoes have occurred in the Chicago area, so it is entirely possible for one to hit the city itself.

Is it true that you can tell which way the tornado is going?

You can get a general idea of a tornado's direction by watching it move. Note that if a tornado does not appear to be moving to either side but instead looks to be getting bigger, there's a good chance its coming straight at you. Outside of visual observations, the movement of a tornado can be tracked by Doppler radar.

Is the oak lawn tornado outbreak the only tornado near Chicago?

No. First of all, there seems to be a some confusion here. The Oak lawn tornado outbreak was not a tornado, it was an outbreak of at least 45 tornadoes across the Midwest and Great Lakes regions. Second, the F4 tornado that struck Oak Lawn was not the only tornado in the area of Chicago. Among other events, an F3 tornado struck downtown Chicago in 1871, an F4 tornado hit Bolingbrook in 1976, and an F5 tornado hit Plainfield in 1990.
